# Getting windows 11 to not bork with qemu

Windows 11 started destroying itself randomly after its latest update. the 'fix' as far as I can tell, is to change the cpu type to 'qemu64' type. this seems to 'heal' windows 11. I tried everything, and with every reboot it would 'destroy' itself when passing through the native cpu type. It seems relatively stable after a couple of reboots and updates.
